School of Rock he-said-she-said movie review screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 30, 2003   ⋅   Comment now

Kris says LISTEN UP!: Okay, about a year ago, we’re in Chris’s car and the CD whirls and repeats. Its Tenacious D and I don’t really mind the first couple of times; its wackiness accompanies our joyrides as we’re eyeballing for pranks. I decide to humor Chris since he has just rediscovered a bunch [...]

The Rundown he-said-she-said movie review screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 23, 2003   ⋅   Comment [1]

HE-SAID: The Rundown was the most fun I’ve had with an action film since Pirates, and it was one of the very few I’d gladly watch again. Those of you that had a hard time comprehending the storyline of

Das Experiment movie review

by Chris   ⋅   September 15, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?! You may have heard the story before but I’ll summarize it here to the best of my non-spoiltastic ability. Das Experiment is based on the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment performed by Philip Zimbardo (If you’ve ever taken any psych classes you’ll recognize this name.) I always thought he looked [...]

Cabin Fever he-said-she-said movie review

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 13, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

SHE SAID: This was waaay better than I thought. You’ll walk in expecting a horror movie, and you’ll walk out remembering a comedy. That was meant as a compliment, though. Don’t expect this flick to be as provocative as I Spit on Your Grave, or include the forest as a character (Evil Dead). This [...]

Cold Creek Manor movie review screener!

DENNIS QUAID WILL FIRE HIS AGENT
SHE SAID: Slooooooooooow.. and not in a good ‘le French Cinema’ way. Camerawork likened to a kid messing around with the ‘slow motion/skip frame’ button. Editing is plain, redundant and predictable. Same goes for the musical score. So many opportunities to create intriguing tangents, but chooses the unforgivable [...]

House of 1000 Corpses movie review

by Chris   ⋅   September 9, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about this film. It’s hard because House of 1000 Corpses is one hell of an unbalanced film. In places it’s brilliant, ranking among the best in its genre, but for the most part it is a plodding exercise in mediocrity. I absolutely loved the first 5 [...]

Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie review screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 9, 2003   ⋅   Comments [6]

HE SAID: Kris and I just got back from the press screening and all I can say is, ‘whoa!’ Robert Rodriguez has proved he can still show the adults just as good a time as he shows the kids. Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a rare film these days as it is [...]

Identity dvd movie review

by Chris   ⋅   September 6, 2003   ⋅   Comment [1]

Identity is the story of ten people who get caught up in a desert storm, and are forced to seek shelter at a roadside hotel until the storm passes. As the night progresses the people get knocked off one by one. In typical Agatha Christie fashion you have absolutely no idea who the killer [...]
